PT showed me a ridiculous fix for sciatica that actually WORKS! Lie on your stomach, have another person put their hands on your sacrum/lower waist. Move hands away from each other, one toward the head, one toward the feet, brushing along the body. PT did it lightly- my husband does it like it’s punishment. Feels good either way. Sounds stupid- works immediately. I’m an xray tech and nurse, my husband is a radiologist. We laughed right up until my pain quit. Now I have him ‘stretch me’ all the time. I have had herniated L5S1 for about 25 years; two microdiscectomy (2021, 2022) when I couldn’t stand the pain and didn’t yet know about the technique PT taught me.

Most treatments you said, I’ve done. My pain is coming from a fractured disk in my back 15 years ago, it’s been pushed in and pressing on a nerve. I’ve been offered a 7 hour operation, and refused I’m 76 I’ll always have this pain, but exercise is the key.

It is now 4 years since I started seeing a orthopedic surgeon who advised me to do so, and still no relief. I have been given prednisone steroid meds before and tried Galapentin and Lyrica but could’ not stand the side affects! My pain is 8. - 10 about 100% of the time.

This allows chiropractic adjustments to 'settle in'. This is definately a hurts-so-good treatment, but it is the only thing that has helped me. Hope you find some relief!

Been suffering for two weeks now. I was doing some stretches before we left for vacation. And nothing was helping. I got worse and worse. I went to the doctor and he prescribed prednisone muscle relaxer and hydrocodone. The only comfort I get is laying on my back with my knees, vent and pillows underneath I cannot walk I cannot stand, and when I’m in a spasm or flare, the only thing I can do is lay on my back and let everything calm down because the pain is so bad. Your exercise video did help me a lot and the one that felt the best was the rocking on hands and knees.

In turn causing the knee to twist in & all kinds of issues. I am always in terrible pain and I really don't believe the people I've been seeing anymore. They've had years to help me heal, get stronger & better.. yet here I am fighting myself and mustering all my energy just to shower or a simple chore per day.. then I'm really hurting & down for a few days before I can do anything again.

It’s so confusing because when one issue resolves the pain moves to another area. I can only describe my situation as feeling like I need to learn to walk again. The leg which has sciatic pain is constantly sore and recently the knee has become very weak and unsteady. My situation is very scary, but this video seems to explain why my coordination is so off.

Hike your leg up with knee bent at a 90° hold and repeat, and feel your muscles pump up in the glutes hips and hamstrings. This helps strengthen and cushion everything in the tailbone and glute areas and I feel less uncomfortable and stronger when I walk around and do things after this exercise. Can also lay on your side to do this same leg hike motion. Just keep you feet touching as if theyre a hinge as you hike your leg up, hold and repeat. You got this

At the same time, i was going to the dentist for some teeth work, after fixing like 4 teeth, i had pain all day, so the dentist told me to take some antibiotic shot in the butt to ease the pain, anyways, i went to the pharmacy, and the dude there gave me the shot on the same side of the nerve pain, i immediately felt the shot like a small tough ball that is stuck in my butt, it lasted for 15 minutes, then it went away, immediately after that, the nerve pain disappeared, i could bend, stand, do whatever, there was no pain at all! yes ! just like magic, i don't know if these 2 are related, but definitely right after the shot i was cured, and now, a week later, i haven't felt a thing! maybe some real doctor can explain this, hopefully there is a scientific explanation to what happened.

Just had a really bad episode of sciatica where I could barely walk I tried cold compress which did not do a thing but then I tried very hot compress and kept it on for about 20 minutes and did a few treatments consecutively and was able to walk normal! There's still a dull pain but feeling 80% better. For those of you who have not tried heat compress, I would recommend it!

Hey Chris! Both ice and heat are useful for this condition. Different bodies need different treatments. We are glad that heat worked for you, but many people need to be cautious not to burn themselves because it actually happens very often. We also have some other sciatica videos that may help you get the rest of that 20% better if you are interested in learning more. Here is a link to our playlist: "Sciatica Pain Exercises & Stretches" kzitem.info/door/PLJVIPiFvv1maZPQPPtirn4oxj8oCPuIMR

my chiropractor /physical therapist started off doing figure 4 and hamstring stretches . it aggravated my sciatic nerve to the point where my hand and arm on the sciatic side started to tingle . the house doctor then took over and stopped all stretches . for now I am just doing adjustments and electro stimulation on my lower back. i have seen my X-rays and it is a lumbar disc out of line a little that is causing my sciatic nerve to be pinched.

We are so sorry to hear that you've been dealing with sciatica! 🥺The pain from sciatica can be so relentless and sometimes even over-the-counter medication doesn't even take the edge off. We hope that by using some of these techniques you can feel some relief. We have a sciatica help playlist you might find helpful. You can access it here: "Sciatica Pain Exercises & Stretches" kzitem.info/door/PLJVIPiFvv1maZPQPPtirn4oxj8oCPuIMR Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not. We hope this information was helpful. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!

Thank you so much. I had sciatica for over 25 years. I learned to live with it after trying much yoga and p/t. I went to chiropractors and orthopedic surgeons etc. I was jogging for years even with pain in my toes. It seemed like it was not hurting it too much. I recently was training for a century bike ride for T1D. The biking seems to be relatively okay. Then I also adopted a greyhound and went running full-on with her. It's when I noticed a major worsening of the nerve. As you stated brilliantly, sometimes things feel good but actually worsen the nerve like stretching. I was wondering if you take patients for counseling about how to deal with it over Zoom or Facetime? This is the best video I've seen on sciatica.....I'm from CT, so I don't think I'll make it down to Texas for treatment lol......

As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not.

This was soooo informative. Thank you so much for putting this together. I'm going to look at your other videos. I wish I lived in your area, you'd be getting a NEW complex patient to unravel 😂 Long story: I have a couple bulging discs and DDD for which the neurosurgeon "suspects" is causing the numbness, tingling down my legs and inability to walk or stand more than 10 min that is relieved by bending and resting on a counter or sitting. (that was a couple of years ago). I went to PT but it didn't really help. The PTA helped the most and said my right SI tilts, which she couldn't get to stay and my muscles are so tight she couldn't get them to release. Now I have severe sciatica in both legs that is getting bad, especially at night. I found a chiropractor that does myofacial release and prescribes exercises, but I haven't made an appt. I know I need someone that can unravel the causes and treat in a proper series to not cause additional harm. Any advice?

I was even thinking maybe it was cancer. But it's a bulged disc. I just started watching some of these videos for sciatica, and this mans advice is right on the target 🎯 . Yesterday, i tried doing some of the exercises like the one where you pull your back backwards, and pelvis in, and it hurt too bad! I do think the key is moderation and listening to your body. Im not gonna do any more exercises that cause too much pain... Thank you so much for the great advice! Its been about 3 weeks since i hurt myself, hopefully, it will go away soon.
